CX True Wireless

I have CXTW and CX+TW,great sound earbuds and pricewise very fair...

So I'm a headphone user most of the time. I have the DT880 Pro and HD560s paired with a Topping DX3 Pro+ and I'll buy some other headphones later on. The thing is that sometimes for walking or for going to the gym I like using wireless earbuds, and I had until recently the Sennheiser CX True Wireless, that did their job well and IMO had better sound quality that other earbuds around that price, but I lost them last week unfortunately. So now that I need to buy new earbuds, I wanted to know what good options are there out there. I prefer a neutral sound signature and my budget is about 80 dollars at most. I'm located in Colombia, but I can order from basically anywhere. Posted in r/headphoneadvice but recieved no answers. Thanks in advace for the help.

Hi there - I was a Bose Soundsport + QuietComfort Fan for a while - both started crackling after a few years of use. Then this sub turned me onto the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 and purchased a pair in April 2023. Loved them but they died in less than a year... I complained and they sent me a brand new (or maybe refurbished idk) Momentum 3. Those died in about two years (one ear bud stopped charging) and purchased the Sennheiser CX True Wireless as a "lower cost" option in Jan 2024... it is now Apr 2026 and one Earbud is just refusing to connect, but is "on". Did a factory reset, etc. I am now scared to buy For my needs, I don't really care about the best quality sound (I mean, not potato quality) or noise cancelling. I ride the subway, plug these in at work, and workout with them. I just need something that won't die in 2 years and maybe holds a 6-8+ hour charge. I'm kind of sick of shelling out money every couple years and just having them poop out. To be fair, I am okay with spending more money but I want to be sure that these will at least give me 3 years of use and get me through a long haul plane ride. I *would* buy headphones but I dont like sweating/working out with literal earmuffs and for me, they are nice-to-haves not need-to-haves. EDIT: I purchased the EarFun AirPro 4 (not plus) to hold me over and I love them. (Even though my bf said he will buy me a pair of Sony). Perfect for my needs, not a super distracting ANC, good sound for gym/commuting def not as warm as Sennheiser but as a non-audiophile, this works, and only $60 bucks so if they die in 2 years, I wont be too eaten up about it. I'll likely upgrade to the 4+ once these die to see how I feel about it.

I had the CX True Wireless before... they where amazing sounding! They impressed even more than the Momentum TW 3 out of the box!  If they were multipoint and smaller they would be perfect. In house I also have HD250BT and HD25 Light...

I have had Ear a's for a few months replacing my Sennheisers CX True Wireless Buds after a bad experience with them (left bud suddenly died / ticking sound after 3 or so years). The battery life of the Nothing buds themselves is poor compared to the Senns. The left earbud charges only up to 85% and will drain down to 15% with just 2 hour use. I've already ran out of battery several times for the left bud and had to put them back in the case to recharge each time which is a bummer. I've searched online and found this was a common problem with the left earbud. I've never had this problem with the Senns, listening for extended periods without having to put them back in the case. Nothing's sound quality is good though. Would I get my next buds from Nothing? No. Senns? No. Meanwhile, I have my wired Audio Technicas for 11 years now. They're a bit dilapidated but they still work and sound great. I guess I can't expect the same longevity from any wireless buds. Let me know if there are buds that have lasted you guys in the long haul. 3 years to me, like I had with my CX True Wireless, is too short for me.

I've found that certain earbuds work better for different types of music. I listen mostly to eighties rock and some metal and I've stuck with my Liberty 3 Pro despite owning many other newer earbuds like the Sennheiser Momentum 3 & 4, Tozo Golden X1, Technics AZ-80 (I returned the AZ-100s), Sony XM4 (I also returned the XM5's), Earfun Air Pro 4, and a few more although I do switch between the L3P and the EAP4 every so often along with the Sennheiser duo. I find that the sound signatures between them are very similar.

I think they fit fine, you sort of twist them in to secure in place. I've been using Sennheiser TW earbuds for years though, which also are pretty thick earbuds, so I guess you could say I'm used to the shape.

I'm using an older pair of Sennheiser true wireless buds
